Muy? Yun already confirmed the two were the same person ever since the Wine Miss had chased Bai Yue Ling downstairs shouting “Priest Hero.” So she deliberately mentioned that she was going to the Royal Capital, wanting to see how Bai Yue Ling would react.
As she expected, Bai Yue Ling’s pretty face flushed red, her body trembling slightly, and her breathing growing rapid, clearly nervous because of her words.
A innocent smile curved at the corner of Mu Yao’s lips.
She decided to keep pressing Bai Yue Ling until she unveiled her mysterious facade.
“After the fall of the Blood Age, the Royal Capital doesn’t have any major guilds right now, so a lot of guilds are planning to go there and carve out a spot for themselves. Over the next while, the Royal Capital should get pretty lively.” Mu Yao curled her lips like a cunning little kitten. “Ling Ling, what do you think of the Royal Capital?”
“Uwee… ah? The Royal Capital?” Bai Yue Ling pressed her thighs together, hugging her chest tightly with both arms, her voice trembling slightly. “The Royal Capital is a v-very nice place! The people are warm, and the Princesses are gorgeous too… ee!”
“Is that so~” Mu Yao answered absentmindedly, her gaze locked onto Bai Yue Ling’s arms, admiring the deep and magnificent ravine squeezed out between them.
Holding her chest with both hands like that—in psychology, that was a sign of extreme unease and a guilty conscience.
It seemed her questions really did give Bai Yue Ling a sense of crisis.
Mu Yao was very reassured. The plan was proceeding smoothly.
“Hehe~ If I’m going to do business in the Royal Capital, shouldn’t I get on good terms with the Priest Hero?” Mu Yao asked with a light smile. “She’s the hero who defeated Blood Rain, so she should be the top player in the Royal Capital now, right?” She propped her chin with a worried look, feigning distress. “Following adult customs, should I give her gifts? I wonder what that Priest Hero likes…”
She waited for a while, but no answer ever came. Because Bai Yue Ling had already turned red in the face, pressing her rosy lips tightly together, seemingly letting out low whimpers from being unable to bear some excitement and stimulation. Did she get nervous just from mentioning the Priest Hero? Looks like she really is afraid of exposing her identity. Mu Yao nodded slightly and poked Bai Yue Ling’s plump thigh, only to unexpectedly find that her temperature was a bit too hot, like she was running a fever.
Of course, what Mu Yao didn’t know was that while she was “probing,” this adorable white-haired big-chested girl was actually enduring the torment of another woman. And it was happening right out in the open, right in front of her face.
Mu Yao asked with concern, “Ling Ling, are you feeling unwell?”
“N-no, I’m fine… what were you… asking about again?” Bai Yue Ling bit her pearl-like teeth, her face full of shyness, desperately trying to act like nothing was wrong. But to Mu Yao, her actions looked like she was desperately trying to hide the unease brought on by the questions.
Her smile grew even deeper. “I asked if you know what the Priest Hero likes?”
“Uh… the Priest Hero?” Bai Yue Ling stared at Mu Yao’s innocent little face before realizing something was wrong. “Ugh… did you just say you’re coming to the Royal Capital?”
“That’s right.”
Oh no, if Mu Yao came to the Royal Capital and met her up close, she’d definitely recognize her as the Priest Hero at a glance.
She had to think of a way to send her away…
Bai Yue Ling took a deep breath, struggling against the stimulating, numbing sensation, trying her best to keep Mu Yao from noticing anything.
“That Priest Hero… actually… guweee~! She’s actually a really, really bad person!” Bai Yue Ling said seriously with a flushed face.
“Bad?” Mu Yao tilted her head. “Bad how? The forums all say she’s a decent person.”
Bai Yue Ling was now a well-known celebrity in the Royal Capital—both NPCs and players knew her. After all, she purified the Natural Forest, overthrew the Blood Age, and accomplished so many great things that her image rose alongside her deeds. People would even greet her proactively when she walked down the street. There were even rumors that the reason her Holy Ball dealt such high damage was proof that the Goddess had sent her down to save the world. Yet Bai Yue Ling was now deliberately “defaming” herself, saying, “She’s decent, sure, but she has one fatal flaw.”
“What flaw?”
“It’s that… she likes beautiful, lewd girls!”
“Pfft~” Mu Yao burst into laughter. “Isn’t that normal? Since this world only has female beings, if you don’t like girls, what else would you like?”
Bai Yue Ling quickly explained, “It’s not normal! She likes them to a demonic degree—not just humans, elves, and undead, even slimes can’t escape her clutches… uweeeeh~! If she ever saw you, with how cute and beautiful you are, she’d definitely drag you into her Little Black Room!” Bai Yue Ling suddenly shuddered violently before forcing herself to continue, “Anyway, you need to be careful of her!”
Mu Yao put on a shocked expression. “Is it really that serious?”
Bai Yue Ling forced a smile. “Of course. She’s just that terrifying of a person.”
Mu Yao said, “Okay~ I’ll remember that.”
She hoped that when they met in the game in the future, Little White would actually do just that.
Mu Yao thought happily, naturally patting Bai Yue Ling on the back. Her palm, through the Little White Dress, suddenly touched something. Puzzled, Mu Yao instinctively gave it a squeeze.
“Huh, what’s this?”
Bai Yue Ling quickly tried to stop her. “Wait, that… ee—”
It was as if she’d been shocked by an electric current, her face twisting into that same expression she’d made when Gentle Pluck had been taking photos of her earlier. Bai Yue Ling had been constantly resisting Guodong’s fierce assault—one attacking, one defending. Guodong didn’t want Bai Yue Ling to have it too easy, while Bai Yue Ling didn’t want to embarrass herself in front of Mu Yao, so they’d maintained a delicate, fragile balance. It could have continued peacefully like that, but now that delicate balance and that determined endurance had been shattered by a single unintentional movement from Mu Yao.
Bai Yue Ling bit her lower lip hard, holding back any humiliating sounds for nearly ten full seconds before finally calming down. Countless beads of sweat instantly secreted from her skin, as if she’d just survived a terrible catastrophe.
“Ha… haah… sorry…”
“Ling Ling, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Mu Yao’s eyes widened, startled by Bai Yue Ling’s reaction. She quickly asked with concern, “Should I take you to the hospital?”
“N-no, it’s fine…” Bai Yue Ling recovered for a moment before suddenly standing up and walking toward the door with her legs turned inward. “I… I’m going home to rest. You go ahead and do what you need to do…”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m fine. I’ve been like this a lot lately…”
As Bai Yue Ling closed the door behind her, the two were completely separated into two different worlds.
Mu Yao looked down at her right hand and tilted her head in confusion. “Why does that feel kind of like… a tail?”
“But it can’t be a tail… could it be… a plug-in?”
Recalling all of Bai Yue Ling’s strange behavior just now, Mu Yao’s heart jolted.
“Could Ling Ling have been… the whole time?”
